Its about time Sunderland got some new buses!
So from the Green bus fund round 4, now confirmed 38 Enviro40H for Manchester, 17 Scania K270UB/Alexander Dennis Enviro 300SG (Gas powered) for Sunderland, does this mean that the 20 other Scania K270UB listed in the latest BBP book are cancelled or are they being funded 100% by Stagecoach or alternatively changed to std Diesel spec?
They're not for England, make of that what you want. :P
Are we sure these E300SGs will be K270UB based? I would have thought they'd be K230UB...

Thanks for that 'cryptic' hint!

"- Industrial gases company BOC, part of the Linde Group, has announced that it will provide the refuelling technology and fuel for Scotland's hydrogen bus fleet, with 10 vehicles to be operating in Aberdeen by 2014.
The project represents another stage in establishing hydrogen power as a viable transport option in the UK," said BOC.
“This will be the UK’s largest demonstration of hydrogen fuel cell buses and cements Aberdeen’s position as a pioneer in the field of low carbon mobility," said Nick Rolf, BOC Innovation Manager for Hydrogen Systems.
"The project will also provide a template for the production of hydrogen from renewable sources on a scale that is unmatched elsewhere in the UK.”
The hydrogen-powered buses will be operated on First and Stagecoach bus routes in the city by early 2014 and refuelled at Scotland’s first commercial-scale hydrogen refuelling station, which will be owned and operated by BOC".
